With the Reds paying a very high price for a very young and good pitcher.
Chapman slated to become a starter.
How many wish the Arroyo resigning last year never happen?I know I wish it never did. That money now could have been used in better ways( LF, closer, bullpen).

i think almost anyone agrees with you

question (just what you think will happen)

1) does chapman start the year with the reds?
2) does he finish the year as a starter?

As they say, "Hindsight is 20-20". Chapman has yet to be tested in any actual role, let alone as a proven starter.
At the time of the Bronson extention he was the top of the rotation pitcher. Not an ace by any means but a proven starter. I'd call a 14-10, 4.30 ERA in 2012 for him.

I'll take 14-10 and 4.3 from Bronson! I'm scared to say I think it will be much worse.......
